I'd rather there were some elements of feet binding practice. Mulan had her feet unbound, then wished them to be bound again near the ancestors' pond after the war ends. So her feet are bound again. That would be an interesting and close to the actual legend.

I didn't like the trailer so I'm not going to watch it. Looks grey and dusty.

... that seems highly unrealistic to me, though? Foot binding was a practice that tended to render one's feet all but unusable. Not only would that be difficult (and slightly gruesome) to film, but there's not much chance Mulan would've been able to recover from years and years of basically crippled feet and then become a skilled fighter. She would've been barely able to walk without help.

I thought the legend took place way before foot binding became common practice in China, but I guess the version you're talking about could've been written later on.

yeah, it's one of the versions.

The Ballad of Mulan predates foot binding by about 500 years

Wasn't foot binding invented several centuries after the legend?
